I see the phrase "Platform: No Operating System " at the top. What does this mean?

Operating system refers to the Windows version you have. If you try to install Windows XP on a new computer, then you will have a very hard time. I don't know if it will let you register your copy, which will cause it to stop working in 30 days, or if you can update it at all. Without updates to XP your screen resolution won't give you a big enough screen to click on buttons in programs (they will be off of your screen and you can't get to them.) I would recommend installing Windows 7 or later.

Usually , it means that the computer (Platform), whether its a laptop, desktop or tablet, does not have an Operating System installed. IE: Windows OS, Apple OS, Linux OS, Unix OS. An "OS" needs to be bought separately and installed.

The default is 64 bit. However, we could install 32 bit OS per custoomer's request.

"os" usually refers to operating system in a computer. I don't see where it comes from in this question.

The question mark means that an operating system has not been found. These machines will run 10.5 OS X and lower. Either the hard drive is disconnected, missing, or it is missing an operating system. Any of the options aren't too hard to fix.

I didn't get that message. If I were you I would go ahead and do it. You can always reinstall it. If anything gets messed up just call Lenovo support. They are quite good.

I'm sorry, Lesley, I don't know from personal experience, as I have a PC, but on the listing it says platforms are Windows 98 / 2000, Mac OS X. I hope this helps.

Yes, you must install an OS (Windows or other) before you can run applications. VMWare just sets up the hardware emulation, it does not include operating systems.

I have no clue, I threw it away because it messed up my Windows 7 operating system.

It is currently being used on a Windows 7 Enterprise system right now. However, I think that it is a 32-bit Operating System.

No OS, and the lens would not get very sharp. Ended up getting rid of it. Sorry!

Barebones means no drive, no OS, no memory. No remote either (since that would need an OS to drive). If you want it all "ready to go" look for a complete HTPC instead, or a set-top box like Roku or AppleTV.

No OS on this one. I used Ubuntu Linux, which took soem tweaking to run well. You can use any OS you would like.

I don't think it uses any specific operating system as there is no need to install it. I have Windows 7 and all I had to do was just hook it up.

Yes it can. In fact it came without any operating systems so I had to download everything myself.

Windows 7 is the operating system out of the box. You don't need to do anything.
